Ubuntu is mostly in sync with Debian for the epiphany packaging. It looks like Debian has an extra epiphany-newtab.desktop which they moved the http/https handlers to. But because NoDisplay=true is set, System Settings doesn't recognize it. (See the debian/rules.)
I did a little testing now and I don't think the epiphany-newtab.desktop does anything that the regular .desktop doesn't do so we can simplify the packaging and fix this bug. ** Changed in: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to epiphany-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1187203 Title: can't set Epiphany as default browser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/1187203/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
